Same rhetoric, policies, party, etc.
Would he even make it pass “grab em by the p****” in 2016?
if DT was anyone else he would have been held with no bail for having 90+ pending felonies and having been convicted of 32 already. The fact that his passport has not been restricted is clear evidence that being “rich & famous” gets you different treatment.
Ha ha no
No, because his popularity with the cult of fools is primarily based on two things: 1. talking at a third grade level and 2. fear mongering about black and brown people.
I suppose you could add “appearing to be rich and successful” and some other ingredients in there. But I think the 2 mentioned are his biggest power sources by far.
No, considering his followers are white supremacists.
I was gonna reply that Hermain Cain was probably the “Black Donald Trump”, but I looked it up and Cain actually had success in his business ventures. He also was only married once.
Are you kidding? One of the big attractions of Trump is to prove the shittiest white man can beat a qualified black woman.
No.
Absolutely not. One of his core demographics is white supremacists.
You think the white supermacists would vote Kamala / Hillary / Biden rather than Kanye?
Another one of Trump’s core demographics is the religious christians too, despite Trump not having a religious bone in his body.
Impossible to say. He certainly wouldn’t have been a real estate icon in the 80s and would probably not have been born a silver spoon trust fund baby.
No, but the idea that any random white guy could get away with what Trump gets away with is also laughable. Since 2016 there have been a million and one politicians trying to act Trumpian, and none of them enjoyed the nearly success Trump has.
For reasons beyond my comprehension, Trump seems to have this larger than life persona that has allowed him to escape scandal after scandal that would doom literally any other politician.
As a fun sidenote, look up DC Mayor Marion Barry. Dude made Trump look pedestrian.
He would have been evicted from his dad’s properties
This story is from when Trump was putting up Trump Tower. The biggest scandal that he used illegal immigrants to demolish the original building. He ended up havign to pay them over $1 million for the abuses.
The part of the story that made him anathema to the Manhattan elites was that he destroyed the building after promising to preserve it. It was considered one of the loveliest buildings in the city.
Trump initially avoided any comment about the Bonwit Teller artwork. But John Baron, a spokesperson with the Trump Organization, contacted the New York Daily News to discuss the situation. Baron informed the Daily News that “the merit of the stones was not great enough to justify the effort to save them.” Baron stated that the removal process could have set back Trump Tower’s construction timeline by two weeks. Baron also told the New York Times that he had no idea what happened to the ornate grillwork.
Long after Baron’s initial contact, the New York Daily News learned that John Baron was actually Donald Trump, in disguise.WTF?
You’re just finding out about John Barron at this late date?
On the other hand, keeping track of all of Trump’s lies and scandals is like trying to read Lord of the Rings while watching Avengers Endgame and listening to an audio book of Game of Thrones at the same time.
I’m not from the US and while, thanks to the internet, I probably know more about Trump’s scandals and crimes than is necessary or reasonable for anyone only indirectly affected by his actions, I’m sure I’ve only scratched the surface. Especially since, as you said, you really have to put in an effort to keep track of all of them.
So I’m just observing from afar and constantly amazed by every new detail I stumble upon.
I’m a life long New Yorker who has seen all of his scandals in the local media [he’s been trying to get his name in the papers since the 1980s] Back in the 1990s there was a local satire magazine called Spy. They ridiculed the pompous and Trump was a favorite target. They once wnated to find the cheapest person in the City.
They sent a few dozen rich folks checks for less than $2.00. Personal checks to home addresses. Most threw the checks away, but a few cashed them. The magazine kept sending checks in smaller and smaller amounts.
In the end, only Trump and an arms dealer cashed the last check. 13 cents. $0.13. Not enough to make a phone call.
I’ve literally never heard one good story about him.
As a life long NYC resident I’ve seen my share of great buildings. I went to Trump Tower once, long before 2015. The walls of the lobby were all gold and there was a waterfall. I thought it looked like a giant, golden toilet.
Aren’t most of his current supporters racist enough to not support him if he was so ?
His dad would have put him up for adoption. At best
Would you have? No disrespect intended, it’s a genuine question I earnestly implore each of us to answer to ourselves at the very least.
For variety, swap out “black” with any marginalized community of your choice: female, non-binary, undocumented alien, neurodivergent, actual human, etc.
actual human, etc.

Did he do something wrong?
